Alex Bennett calling on his listeners to send COMFORTABLE SHOES to the WH
To be honest, I find Bennett too obnoxious to listen to for more than five minutes - but caught this bit on Sirius Left today before I could turn him off.

Someone on staff has tweeted the prez to get his shoe size.

7. Probably. It is all a show to create "shock" talk "liberal style" they think. However, at least
for me, I don't want to hear them

8. I subscribe more for the classic rock than the talk, since I travel long distances...
...but I am glad when I can catch Thom Hartmann, Big Ed or Rachel (since msnbc is on now).

10. I agree, but since the merger they effectively increased the price, and the 3 to 4 music
stations I listen to were not worth it to me

They were supposed have an ala carte service for 6 bucks a month, but only 1 radio supports it. If that ever really happens, I will come back

9. First of all I didn't say HE was, I said xm and sirius saturate their programming with R/W hate
Edited on Fri Feb-25-11 10:31 AM by still_one
talk mostly, and they only have one stream that is left.

I have heard Bennett classify himself as left, and constantly makes fun of those who call themselves liberal or progressive. I have no idea what he is, but I do not find him entertaining or informative.

So I don't listen to him or for that matter after the Mel Karmazin merger, I don't subscribe to satellite radio

6. Bleh. Don't have the money to spend on an effort that futile.
Have some used ones I could send, but I doubt Obama'd be willing to wear used shoes. Plus, I doubt he's a size 7 1/2. haha
